Connecticut’s public health department on Tuesday urged medical providers to halt use of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine across the state, following recommendations by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration.
Norwalk has paused its use of the J&J vaccine, on advice of federal and state officials. “Norwalk Health Department vaccine clinics this week, including tomorrow at Bow Tie Cinemas, will continue uninterrupted, as the Moderna vaccine will be administered,” the City said in a statement.

NORWALK, Conn. A mass vaccination effort for Norwalk teachers, educators, and childcare professionals took a giant leap forward Wednesday with a closed vaccination clinic for Norwalk Public Schools staff.
“We’re very excited to be here,” Norwalk Superintendent of Schools Alexandra Estrella said at a Wednesday press event marking the vaccination drive at Brien McMahon High School, where comments touched on the reluctance many people feel toward getting vaccinated.
“I think we should do some ‘hip hip hoorays’ or something,” Norwalk Association of School Administrators (NASA) President Lynne Moore said.
